英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A person who is left-handed. rare
    — There are other cautions to be emphasized relating to the acquirement of dextrality by the savage: Nearly all the actions which we now call right-handed were in primeval times to him unknown. […] [T]he modern gun and revolver had not been devised. The bow and arrow, the spear, boomerang, club, etc., could be used as well with the left hand by the sinistromanual.
形容词 adj.
  1. Left-handed. not-comparable
    — [T]he artist, probably for the sake of symmetry, makes one right-handed and the other left-handed. The alternative, of course, is that the latter actually was a sinistromanual player of note [of the game of t'ou hu or pitch-pot] and was thus intentionally represented. In any event, we have in this relief a very early Chinese illustration of this phenomenon.
